Babu In the name of "honour" killings etc. take place. This Poem depictsthe true sense of it. Whither are we going ? Backwards to Barbarianperiods. Is the Culture diminished or became naught. Every living beinghas equal right to live till the day chosen by God to leave this abode.TK has rightly projected present day apathy in a very simple, lucid style. Hats off to him.

VAS (via verdurez)My dear TK, Wow...What a wonderful,realistic and lovely poem on love. Born and brought up in a village i too used to hate lovers but changed after reaching college in City. DG who was against love marriage when our elder son got married changed now and openly tell our youngest son to love a girl of his choice!!!. It's a question of time that villagers and all will accept love marriages. That will eradicate caste and religion.

Savi Sep 8Dear TK, I am sorry i read this poem quiet late was a bit busy on some urgent assignment...its true in the name of honour killing or otherwise innocent girls are being slaughtered, I often feel outrageous, who has given the killers this right to take the life of another human???? Very touching poem TK, till such time the very thinking of our Indian society changes, such killing will continue to be there, not only villages I have seen parents just not accepting the freedom of their girl child, a girl child goes to educational institution, earns and brings prosperity to her family but the moment she declares her love for someone she is being attacked as if she has done some heinous crime, as if she has no right to lead her own life, to decide her future, our society is a hypocrite society, we wear modern clothes, we show we are modern, we talk big but deep within our heart the thinking still remains barbarian, the ancient one. The change has to come in our generation to accept, to try to forget and forgive as DG rightly did, as regards the future generation the change is already visible.

Babu Sep 8A civilized nation should not turn a deaf ear to the apathy of girl children and their horrondous life. Citizens should have culture first ; nation feeling together with humanitarian approach. Otherwise we are not fitto be called humans.
